We Played D&D on a Boat! Adventures Ahoy! Part 1: Tomb of Grief
Set sail for something truly special! No Short Rests! is taking Dungeons & Dragons off the table and onto the water with Adventures Ahoy! - an actual play of Tomb of Grief, our level 1 adventure from One Room One Shots, whilst cruising along the River Lee. Back the collection on Kickstarter now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/one-room-one-shots/one-room-one-shots Featuring an all-star cast from across the UK’s TTRPG community, discover just how easy it is to run a full adventure right from the book, using our free pre-made characters included with the One Room One Shots collection. See for yourself how much story, strategy and atmosphere can unfold in a single location - and all in just one session. Climb aboard, roll initiative and join us for an adventure like no other! The land has become cursed and all signs point to the tomb of an evil king as the source of this dark taint. The players must find a way to break the curse, and learn the truth behind the King's violent acts inside his desecrated tomb!

I’m incredibly proud to present Grief’s End - a 36” realistic replica of the Red King’s sword from Tomb of Grief, our D&D supplement now live on Kickstarter!

Designed by me, 3D-modelled by Eric Jarman, and completely built & finished by hand. It’s been a true labour of love.

My group is currently on our second Strahd campaign attempt (it’s going very poorly) and I’d love to know, to those that have played it, what is your average TPK/end of campaign level? Ours is level 4 🫠

Yes it’s time to start working towards leaving Meta. Yes it is not a business as usual situation.

But please bear in mind you are scolding millions of artists, writers, musicians, creators, many of them queer, into boycotting their storefront overnight - with no viable alternative.
